Tissue specific antigens
Expressed on the plasma membranes in only certain cells in specific tissues
5 ways type II hypersensitivity reactions can affect cells
1)cell can be destroyed by antibody and activation of complement cascade through the classical pathway
2)antibody May cause cell destruction through phagocytosis by macrophages
3)antibody and complement may attract neutrophils
4)antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity
5)does not destroy target cell, but causes it to malfunction
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity
antibodies attached to target cell cause destruction by macrophages, eosinophils, and NK cells

Caused by antigen-antibody (immune) complexes that are formed in the circulation and deposited later
in vessel walls or extravascular tissues
